Awesomes of the Internets

Star Trek Continues: a fan-made continuation of the original Star Trek series.
While it is a bit weird at first to see those characters played by different actors, those are actually as good, production-wise, as the originals, if not better (a few touches of modern CGI where needed also helps).
Being made fifty years later, it is more sombre, even sometimes tragic, and with a more emotional focus. However, it still is the old Star Trek we know and love, and its more modern style is probably better for today’s audiences. Honestly, I think it may be the best show to introduce Star Trek to someone so far.

And for some reason, no-one told me about it since a month ago. grumble in a corner

(Yes, it is the same actor in the first episode here than in the original episode)

Aside from the successful launch, this is the coolest thing I’ve seen all day, thanks cyber!

Edit: In case it isn’t clear, this is evidence that Mars was volcanic and had plate tectonics at one point which was previously unknown which is awesome.
